Wedding Photographer Aachen: Capturing a Beautiful Spanish "Destination Wedding" in Aachen, Germany
Last Saturday, I had the privilege of photographing an unforgettable Spanish wedding in Aachen, Germany. Sabrina, the bride, hails from Spain. The day began with capturing Sabrina’s makeup and dressing moments at her parents' home in Aachen.
It was a delight to be part of this intimate moment. The small upper floor was filled with women, some changing outfits, others applying makeup, or getting their hair done by a talented hairstylist who expertly styled the hair of all the family members.
The Bride’s Spanish Lace Wedding Dress
All the bridesmaids wore elegant peach-colored long dresses with lace accents and a flower corsage on their wrists. Once everyone was dressed and calm returned, it was time for the bride to put on her stunning Spanish lace wedding gown, with help from her mother.
The long, sleek lace fishtail dress fit Sabrina perfectly. After the dress was on, her mother placed a beautiful lace veil on her—an heirloom veil that Sabrina’s mother had worn on her own wedding day.
Wedding Ceremony in Aachen
Once Sabrina was ready, I quickly headed to the church to capture some photos of the guests waiting for her. The weather was perfect—bright and sunny—when the groom, Marco, arrived, accompanied by their adorable daughter.
Guests entered the church, and Marco made his way to the front to await his bride, who was escorted by her father.
The wedding ceremony was filled with surprise and joy, including adorable performances by a class of young children dressed as bride and groom. The ceremony was also enhanced by beautiful live music, featuring organ melodies and a singer.
Reception at Kupferhof Rosenthal
After the church ceremony, guests greeted the newlyweds with bubbles, and congratulations were exchanged. The celebration then moved to the stunning Kupferhof Rosenthal in Stolberg, where a reception with sparkling wine took place. Outside, there was a small Spanish buffet, and the groom even took on the fun task of serving ice cream to everyone from the ice cream cart.
Group Photos and Dinner
We took a group photo on the beautiful steps of the venue. Behind the stunning venue, a spacious garden awaited, with tents set up for the evening dinner. In Germany, it’s customary for all wedding guests to stay for the entire day and evening, which meant an extensive tapas and BBQ buffet expertly catered by a professional.
After dinner, guests relaxed in the beautiful garden, and Sabrina tossed her bouquet to her friends. Later, everyone was called back inside, where Marco gave a heartfelt speech for his wife. The evening culminated with the cutting of a giant wedding cake.
Farewell to the Newlyweds
Around 10 p.m., I bid farewell to this wonderful couple, who had shared a truly memorable day surrounded by family and friends.
